A Manx Art-Rock Band, Circus worlD utilize noise and melody,express beauty and sadness, rage and hope, sometimes within the same song. Drums pound, guitars grind and scream and at the centre of it all Mark's intense vocals tell of death, regret, loss and love, creating powerful songs that are at once affecting and memorable.
Why this name?
It's taken from a Guided By Voices song
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Mikie - It lets you find lots of interesting bands you wouldn't have the opportunity to hear otherwise.
Mark - It kicks ass but you still need to know where to look for the sh!t. If you found this site you already know how much ass the unsigned scene kicks. Man, it mutilates the sh!t out of the major label goons.
